Length 11-13 cm. This is a small bird; the male is notable for its tricolor plumage of black head, chestnut breast, and white patches on neck, wings, and rump. Females and juveniles are brown on the head and back, with the chestnut and white areas less pronounced. The Stonechat is found in semi-deserts and dry farmland, where it feeds on medium-sized insects and other invertebrates. It is a common winter visitor to Egypt.
